I must admit that up until recently Breitling's never interested me. All of a sudden they do :? There seems to be so many variations out there, Bentley this, Navitimer that etc. Can someone educate me on what used ones to look at in the £1500 price range?

Very recently there was a 'Show us your Breitling' thread, for owners to post pictures of their Breitlings in. That should be an excellent place to start getting a feel for what you like and dislike. It was in this forum section, so have a search.
Fifteen hundred pounds will buy you the best Chrono Avenger there is. Or any of Skyland Avenger, Seawolf or maybe if you're lucky a Chronomat or Crosswind.
If you're really lucky you might even have an Emergency.
Another good place to look would be a Superquartz B1 or Airwolf as I think that's too much money too put into an Aerospace.
Choices choices. :)
Thank you, exactly the type of reply I was hoping for. Appreciated :)Originally Posted by Tai Mi Shu
The Breitling Forum helped me a lot in my decision to buy a Navitmer Olympus. Bit pricier than your stated budget, but there is a shed load of info on there and linked blogs etc.
No problem, you'd do well to have a look at MuRph's white Chrono Avenger on SC.
I agree that it's too much money to put into an Aerospace, but that means you get to save some money.
Or another quartz option would be the Chrono Avenger M1. Slate dial FTW! ;)
Yep, I've been looking at that one. It says 44mm. Does it wear as big as a Panerai?
Sorry can't help with the Panerai comparison as I don't own any. However, don't you have a Deepsea? ;)
I do, but it's so big and heavy and horrible I keep forgetting about it :lol:
Ah,I do, but it's so big and heavy and horrible I keep forgetting about it :lol:
Wearing a b1 at the moment which I think is a cracker. A little under you budget too.
I also really live the colt GMT and regret bitterly selling a steelfish GMT which was one of only 100 in the world. :-(
Can't remember who i sold it to but sell it back to me, please!!!
I find the pilot bracelet a bit blingy to be honest but I have a bling phobia.
£1500 buys a lot of Avenger! They really are great watches. In fact mine will soon be for sale, keep an eye out in the SC!

+1 on the Airwolf. I just bought my first Breitling about two weeks ago and love it.
Not a direct comparison but I recently tried on the Avenger Skyland which I think is 45mm and it definitely wore smaller than my 44mm Panerai (111).
I have never seen a chronospace on here, why the lack of love for them?

I do, but it's so big and heavy and horrible I keep forgetting about it :lol:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
:D :D :)
I have to agree.
For me the ONLY Breitling for me would be an Aerospace - I know two RAF Fighter pilots and both of them have Ti Aeropaces.
If its good enough for them its good enough for me :D
The majority of the others are a bit to bling and fussy for me personally - hence I sold my old Navitimer (after it cost me £300 quid when the crown fell off :twisted: ). Quality does seem to be a bit of an issue on some models :(
